" COFFEE-COOKER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0.741,547, dated October 13, 1903. Application filed April 11,1902. Serial No. 162,354. (No model.)

To 60% 7.077107% it may con/canes Be it known that 1, PETER RENNER, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ooflee- Cookers, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is a coffee-cooker which will float upon the liquid and hold the vessel in which the coffee-grounds are contained below the surface of the liquid and which prevents the aroma of the colfee. from escaping. This object is attained by the means described in the specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a coffee-cooker embodying my invention. Fig.2 is a central sectional View of the same. Fig. 3 is'a detail central sectional View of the air-chamber with the receptacle for holding the coffeegrounds removed. Fig. 4 is a view in side elevation of the removable frame which is to' be secured to the air-chamber for holding a sack and showing a modification. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the sack. Fig. 6 is a central sectional view of a modified form of my invention whichis tobe used only with a sack.

Figs. 1 and 2 represent the preferred form, referring to the parts in which a floating vessel consists of aclosed'chamber A, having a downwardly extending reduced cylindrical exteriorly-screw-threaded extension a, which engagesthe screw-threaded portion 19 of the coffee-grounds receptacle B, which consists of a perforated vessel having below the screwthreaded portion an inwardly extending flange 1). Flange 1) supports a ring O, to which is attached a canvas bag 0. ,The canvas bag is to be used when the coffee is finely ground. When it is more coarsely ground, the bag may be omitted and the grounds held in the receptacle 13. After the grounds have been placed within the receptacle and the receptacle has been engaged with the floating vessel the same are to be placed .in any suitable vessel containing the water for making the coffee. The floating vesselwill sinkdown in the water to a point indicated by dotted line inFig. 1. 'Thus none of the aroma can escape into the air without going through the water. Vessel'A has a handle a for removing it from the vessel containing the liquid when desired.

In Fig. 4 is illustrated a modification which is to be used witha canvas bag. It consists of a screw-threaded ring D, having an inwardly-p'rojectingflange d and downwardlyprojecting spider-arms (1. Flange d is to support the ring 0, holding the bag 0', and ring D is'to engage the sore w-threaded extension a. Bag 0 may be formed of a coarser material than bag 0 and is to be used without any surrounding vessel.

Fig. 6 is an illustration of another modi-. fied form. It consists in having floating vessel A made inthe shape of a hollow ring, which has at its upper end an exteriorly-screwthreaded portion 0?. Portion a engages the downwardlyextending annular flange e of the cover E. The ring 0 is to be placed upon the top of vessel A. The bag 0' extends downwardly through the ring A, and cover E is placed upon the vessel A, which holds the bag securely in place and prevents any of the aroma escaping from the coffee-grounds when the vessel is placed in the water.

What I claim is-- 1. In a colfee-cooker, a closed air-chamber, a perforated receptacle, a flexible, pervious sack within said perforated receptacle, and means for attaching said receptacle to the under side of the chamber so as to catch and hold the upper edge of the sack between said ble pervious sack adapted to hold the cofiee;

lock the upper edges of the sack between the chamber and said member and close the mouth of the sack.

4. In a cofi'ee-cooker, a closed chamber hav ingascrew-threaded lower portion,and adapted to cause the cofiee-cooker to float; a rigid perforated member having screwthreads adapted to engage the screw-threads of the chamber, an inwardly-turned flange, and a flexible pervious sack the upper edges of which are adapted to be engaged between the inwardly-turned flange and the bottom of the chamber to hold the sack in place and close the mouth thereof.

5. In a cofiee-cooker, the combination of a closed air-chamber, having a downwardlyextending screw-threaded extension, a cofieereceptacle with a screw-threaded flange for engaging the same, substantially as shown and described.

6. In a coifee-cooker, the combination of a closed air-chamber, with a downwardly-extending screw-threaded extension, a coffeereceptacle with an upper screw-threaded flange for engaging said extension, and with an inwardly-projecting flange below said flange, a ring to rest upon the flange, and a coffee-sack supported by the ring, substantially as shown and described.
